RENTBERRY: A New American Dream

You are young and ambitious. You are well educated and have a decent job. But you can’t afford to buy a house? Neither can your friends and millions of more people. Three in four millennials prefer to pay for experiences over buying homes and consumer
goods.

Homeownership among those 35 and younger has dropped from 43.6% to 35.9% in the last ten years, according to the Mortgage Professional America.

It used to be a part of the American dream: to buy a house when one started a family. Unfortunately, it no longer is. More and more people aged 25 – 34 choose to rent accommodation. Some of them have to because of tighter credit standard, while others
prefer to rent because now people marry and have children later than their parents and grandparents did.

Millennials are more mobile than their parents, and they want freedom when a new job opportunity or a new adventure on the different side of the state or across the country calls. Besides, millennials saw what their parents went through during the financial
crisis of 2008 and do not want their property to be foreclosed.

Renting does have advantages, but they come at a price. Rents are climbing, maintenance and repair costs are growing. It takes more and more time to find a proper accommodation.

Is there a chance that soon it will change? No, the rental market will not change, especially the market for less expensive apartments. There are more renters now than in the last 30 years. But there is some good news for you. The American dream has not
vanished, it has just gone digital. Knowledge of the digital world, social media and some basic knowledge of new technologies is all you need to get a competitive advantage. Have you heard of new services that based on blockchain and used on decentralized platforms? If you have, there is a solution for you, it is called Rentberry.
